End-of-terrace houses for sale in Vlaardingen

End-of-terrace houses in Vlaardingen: what to expect from this supply

Vlaardingen's housing stock largely consists of post-war terraced housing estates and 1970s expansions. It is precisely in these neighbourhoods that you find relatively many end-of-terrace houses, built with slightly more land and a side wall that provides space for a private driveway or extra garden. This makes this type popular with families who want to live outside Rotterdam without being too far from the city.

The supply of end-of-terrace houses in Vlaardingen is in the upper middle segment of the local market. They sell quickly. Anyone actively looking for a home for sale in Vlaardingen will notice that end-of-terrace houses rarely stay online for long. Current numbers and prices can be seen in the overview at the top of this page.

What to look out for with an end-of-terrace house in Vlaardingen

• Side wall and maintenance: An end-of-terrace house has more exterior surface area than a mid-terrace house. Check the condition of the side wall, roof edge and any cavity wall. In older Vlaardingen neighbourhoods, this is a point of attention.
• Property boundary and neighbour: End-of-terrace houses border public green spaces or pavements. Always request a cadastral map. The boundary between private land and municipal land is not always clearly visible, but it determines what you are allowed to build.
• Burglary risk: End-of-terrace houses are statistically more often targeted for burglary due to the extra accessibility via the side. Ask the seller about security and check the insurance history.
• Parking: In neighbourhoods such as Holy Noord and Centrum, parking pressure is high. A private driveway with an end-of-terrace house is then a concrete advantage, but check whether that driveway is permitted and whether there is a driveway permit.
• Speed of response: When buying an end-of-terrace house, you need to act quickly. Submitting viewing requests within a day is no exaggeration. Set up your search with push notifications so you don't miss any new listings. The free Buurtje.nl app sends you a notification immediately when new listings appear: available for download via the App Store and Google Play, both free.
• Financing and floor area: Banks are critical of homes under 40m². End-of-terrace houses in Vlaardingen are usually well above that, but check this for older, smaller homes in Centrum.
• Structural survey: If in doubt about the condition of the side wall or roof, have a structural survey carried out before making an offer. This is especially relevant for end-of-terrace houses due to the larger exterior surface area.

What determines the price of an end-of-terrace house in Vlaardingen

End-of-terrace houses in Vlaardingen are almost always priced higher than comparable mid-terrace houses. This is due to the extra land, the larger plot width and the possibility of a driveway or extension on the side. Current asking prices can be found in the overview at the top of this page.

Factors that further influence the price:

• Location relative to main roads (end-of-terrace houses on busy junctions score lower)
• Condition of the side wall and roof
• Presence of a permitted driveway
• Energy label (homes with label C or higher perform better in this market)
• Neighbourhood and associated living experience
